Escaflowne - A Vision Reborn (27)
Until We Meet Again…

Summary:
A wish. Such a small word for such a large and important thing…Wish. Could it save Zantaki? Or burn it down for good? Or both?
~*~
Jin was being led to the balcony that Wanda used to talk to the people of Zantaki, once again. 'Why does she always have to do these stupid announcements?' She thought to herself. She already knew that Wanda did it because her death would be supposedly different. She was the one who the people always would wish to magically reappear out of nowhere and save them from Wanda. Jin would not let anymore tears fall from her face. She had cried enough. There was nothing to cry about now, though there wasn't really any reason to cry before… Just that Zantaki thought she betrayed them, her getting Hitomi, Zatera, and Tyler put and jail, and her secret released for all of Gaea to know…Jin was wishing for a miracle…it would be a miracle itself if her wish came through…

The boy with the advisor from Van's kingdom looked around Zantaki as the advisor did the same. Being on a small cliff, the water still hit them hard but it went down the muddy path to the village below.
"What's going on?" The boy wondered. The advisor looked at him, shocked.
"You mean that this isn't… normal in Zantaki?!" The boy was starting to get a little annoyed from the advisor.
"Just because we can do strange things doesn't mean we control everything you know!" The boy snapped. He looked down the cliff and saw that the safest way down was to slide down the front of it. The path to the village was blocked up from the water. The boy shut his eyes tightly and groaned to himself. 'This is not my day!' He thought to himself silently. He turned to the advisor. "Sir, I believe that you must except my help. You will not reach the bottom of the cliff safely if you don't." The boy said. He had to yell for the advisor to hear him because he started to walk away a little bit. The advisor looked over to the boy and came up to him. He stopped in front of him.
"And how can you help me?" He asked the boy.
"My power is to be able to make landforms change shapes." He said. He waited for the advisor to respond.
"Make stairs."
"Can't."
"Why not?"
"Takes to much energy. Everybody in Zantaki tries not to use their powers because it can be so tiring!" The boy said it all quickly. The advisor growled under his breath but finally nodded.
"fine." The boy nodded his head and turned his back to the advisor. He raised his hands into the air and they started to glow. He pointed his hands down to the dirt cliff. The advisor could see holes forming into the dirt. He was wet enough as it is! This boy didn't expect him to get muddy either did he? Did he expect him, advisor of one of the most (now) known kingdoms of Gaea? He wants him to climb down a cliff and get his robes dirty?! "no." He said flatly when the boy finished. The boy was starting to look a little tired. His ((the boy)) eyes widened and his jaw dropped. He closed it back up in anger.
"Grrr…I'm trying to help you get to Van!"
"I will not climb down a cliff!"
"You apparently can't do it!" The boy said. 'Time to start reverse psychology…' the boy chuckled to himself lightly, the advisor didn't hear him, though. The advisor turned to him.
"What do you mean 'can't do it'?!" He asked.
"Exactly what it means!" The boy shouted back. "My great great great grandfather could climb down this cliff and he's lying in his damn grave now!" The man glared at the boy. He went over to the cliff and started, carefully, going down the cliff…getting his hands dirty.

Tarpe stood in the doorway. He was the one that said, 'Life sucks, and that's that." Hitomi's smile started to turn into a small frown when something dawned on her. She turned her head to look at him better.
"Why are you down here?" She asked him. He looked over to her and shrugged slightly. He pointed over to Tyler.
"Who is that?" He asked her. Hitomi's brow crumpled in confusion. 'Didn't those two already meet?' She thought to herself.
"Tyler." She said simply. That's really all she knew about him was his name. She was wondering why Tarpe was looking a little nervous. He walked up to Tyler and brought out a small little bottle with purple liquid in it. Hitomi, remembering what Tarpe did to Zatera, of course was worried.
"Hey! What are you doing?" She asked him. Tarpe ignored her. Hitomi stomped her foot on the ground. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" She finally yelled. She saw Zatera and Jin starting to wake. It was strange watching. Their eyes shot open and Jin was almost like she was going to jump on something but the chains that helped her prevented that.
Jin looked over and saw what Tarpe was putting something up to Tyler's lips. Her eyes widened.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! STOP!" She screamed. Tarpe picked something up off the floor. All Jin saw was darkness…
~*~
Hitomi and Zatera saw the rock that hurtled over to her head. Their eyes widened but before they could say something…both of them fell into a deep black darkness with a question in their heads. 'Has Tarpe…betrayed us?' Had he? Was he supporting Wanda? What now?
~*~
